Unexpected News

For ordinary people, the New Year is the most important festival of the year.

After a busy year, everyone wants to take a good rest during the New Year.

But for the princes of the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom, this year's New Year was devoid of the usual peace and tranquility.

Or rather, ever since the struggle for the throne began, the New Year has become increasingly difficult for these people.

This year, in particular, Zhuo Ning's National Fortune has completely shattered the perceptions of many princes.

This not only enraged the twenty-seventh prince, who was far to the north defending against the Barbarian Clan.

This also greatly displeased the fourth prince, who had just gained the allegiance of several other princes.

For most of the first month of the lunar calendar, the Fourth Prince's advisors visited his residence almost every day to discuss countermeasures.

The Fourth Prince's subordinates were not as incompetent as Zhuo Ning's. They were full of all sorts of schemes and plots, both overt and covert, and could come up with any idea at will.

Before the first court assembly after the New Year, they had already devised a perfect plan targeting the First Prince, the Twenty-Seventh Prince, and Zhuo Ning.

We just need to wait until the court assembly next month to launch our attack.

Meanwhile, in contrast to the busy Fourth Prince's camp, Yi Xuan and Zhuo Ning were not idle either.

However, instead of thinking about how to deal with the other princes, they immediately set off on the second day of the Lunar New Year aboard the Aerospace Mothership and left the Immortal Dynasty, embarking on a new round of travel around the Immortal Kingdom.

Unlike last year's plan.

The three areas of agriculture, medicine, and education will continue to be promoted throughout the Blazing Sun through the students of the Imperial University.

This year, Yi Xuan is placing its top priority on energy.

That's right, Yi Xuan plans to develop electricity in the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom!

The development of modern technology is essentially about the development of energy.

From steam to electricity, and then to nuclear energy, wind power, hydropower, solar energy, and so on.

Without energy, even the most advanced technology is nothing but a castle in the air.

Of course, Yi Xuan would not build nuclear power plants directly like the Xia Kingdom, and then make the entire country fully covered by the power grid in a short period of time through rapid infrastructure construction.

This approach might be feasible in the Xia Kingdom, but doing so in the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom would be tantamount to suicide.

Moreover, as one of the five great immortal kingdoms of the Central Continent, the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom's territory is much larger than the entire Southern Frontier.

Completing the basic construction of the national power grid in such a fairyland is no easy task.

Leaving aside the time required, the resources involved are astronomical.

Fortunately, technology doesn't have to be a one-way street.

Sometimes, if one road is blocked, we'll try another.

The path of science and technology is vast and boundless; there is always a suitable path waiting for us to discover.

Yi Xuan thought the same thing, so he abandoned the infrastructure route.

He then turned his attention to another direction of power generation.

Solar energy!

This is what is commonly known as photovoltaic power generation!

Compared to traditional thermal power generation or nuclear power generation, which are one-to-many power generation methods.

Photovoltaic power generation is definitely a very convenient way to generate electricity.

Whether it's one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-one, or many-to-many, it's all fine.

The most important point is that photovoltaic power generation requires almost no infrastructure construction from Yi Xuan.

A solar panel, an inverter, and a controller—these three components combined can provide power instantly.

Moreover, with the support of existing technologies, Yi Xuan's photovoltaic power generation has significantly improved its ability to convert electrical energy.

A typical household photovoltaic system can provide enough electricity for an entire family's daily needs.

Note that this does not refer to the people of the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom.

It is a family living in a modern city.

Once the electricity issue is resolved, it will lay a solid foundation for Yi Xuan's future work.

Various technological products will no longer be unavailable; they can be widely adopted in the lives of the people of the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom.

Then, in addition, there will be the full coverage network provided by Starlink.

I believe that in a short period of time, the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom can be modernized to an unimaginable degree.

So, after leaving the Immortal Dynasty.

Zhuo Ning and Yi Xuan then devoted all their energy to the photovoltaic industry.

Furthermore, fearing a shortage of manpower, Yi Xuan sent Zhuo Ning back to the Xia Kingdom again.

They brought back many students from Imperial University again, making preliminary preparations for the future development of the photovoltaic industry.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

The time had come to the second month after the New Year in the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom.

Unfortunately, at the first court assembly of the new year, the Fourth Prince did not have the opportunity to implement his plans against the others one by one, as it was interrupted by news that no one had anticipated.

The northern part of the Immortal Kingdom has fallen!

The Barbarian Clan have launched a full-scale invasion of the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom!

The fate of the two princes who resisted the Barbarian Clan in the north remains unknown!

Overnight, the promising situation before the new year was ruthlessly shattered.

Compared to the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom, the Great Qian and the Hundred Alliances were not much better off.

The allied forces of the Hundred Alliance Immortal Kingdom were shattered overnight, and the Barbarian Clan quickly conquered more than a dozen small kingdoms in the north of the Hundred Alliance Immortal Kingdom.

The Great Qian army also suffered heavy casualties, but fortunately, the majority of its forces survived.

After retreating some distance, they rallied and joined forces with the reinforcements from Great Qian, thus re-establishing a defensive system.

This message was sent by the bio-engineered substitute that Zhuo Ning left in the Immortal Dynasty.

At the time, the two were enthusiastically promoting their photovoltaic equipment throughout the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom.

With a good start from the previous year.

The people were very enthusiastic about the novelties that Prince Ning had presented, and they encountered almost no obstacles.

However, after the news came, the two lost the motivation to continue promoting it.

They could only arrange for Liang Shi to follow up on the work, so the two headed straight for Xianchao.

On their way back, the two received new news from the Immortal Dynasty.

The 27th Prince is back!

He owed it all to the Six-Tribulation Loose Immortal his uncle had sent him.

When surrounded by several Barbarian Clan experts, he risked his life to protect Zhuo Dao and barely managed to bring him out.

However, that Six-Tribulation Loose Immortal was also seriously injured. It is said that when he was found, he only had half a life left.

A mere Six-Tribulation Loose Immortal was beaten to this state, which shows that the Barbarian Clan were truly serious.

Upon learning of this, the Immortal Emperor retrieved numerous heavenly materials and earthly treasures from the royal treasury, barely managing to save the life of that Six-Tribulation Loose Immortal.

Upon returning to the Celestial Dynasty, Zhuo Ning instructed Yi Xuan to return to his residence and wait, while he himself headed straight for the Heavenly Palace.

As soon as they entered, they heard the twenty-seventh prince's desperate cries.

"It's our elder brother! Our elder brother betrayed the country and deliberately opened the defenses, letting the Barbarian Clan in! Our army was caught off guard and attacked by the Barbarian Clan!"

"What?"

"How could it be the eldest prince?"

Not only were the many ministers in the hall astonished, but even the Immortal Emperor sitting on his high throne looked incredulous.
